The Horde (1994)
Genres:Strategy
Themes:Action, Fantasy
Game modes:Single player
Story:You are Chauncey, a serving lad who saves his monarch from choking on his meal. The King rewards you with his magical sword, Grimthwacker, and a village, and the mission to go forth and prosper by felling waves of Hordlings, who are bent on eating everything in the province. The better you get at defending villagers, crops, and cows from Hordlings, the better equipped you become. Success wins you further favor from the King, along with bigger challenges and more enmity from the evil High Chancellor. There are several types of Hordlings, each with their peculiar style of picking through the edibles under your care. Success is measured by how many villagers and crops survive each season's gluttonous attacks.Show more

Played this back in 1995 on the Panasonic 3DO. Silly FMVs with Kirk Cameron and slightly wonky controls may not make it a top pick, but it has some interesting elements like defending your town and making money to reinforce your defenses against the monsters of the Horde. The knight that says „None shall pass!“ remained in my memory forever…
3D0 brought its share of miracles, with "road rash", "dragon's lair", and so many others, "the horde" was one of them! Getting ready to defend crops and homes before suffering incessant monster invasions. Not to mention the Machiavellian tax collector that we all feared! What memories.
Creature Conflict: The Clan WarsCreature Conflict is a blend of turn-based tactical and real time action/arcade elements. In this case, however, the battlefields are not 2D landscapes, but completely 3D mini-planets. The main idea is simple: 2-4 teams of animals (controlled by either human players or the computer) take it in turns as they try to destroy the enemy teams. The game is laden with well-know arcade elements (moving platforms, sinking blocks etc.) that further increase the challenge and fun factor of the game.Fantasy
